It's happened to all of us. Disobedience on our part leads to a sense of frustration and a desire to 'make it right'. Because we feel that we have 'let God down', we overcompensate by 'doing more' for the Lord. In an effort to 'right our wrongs' and please God, we engage in 'fig leaf' righteousness, which somehow and some way make us 'feel better'. Herein lies the deception. But is this the goal, to just feel better? Or are we to simply to trust Him that we are forgiven? Join us as we study the subtle danger of fig leaves in the Christian life and how they serve to move us away from the Cross of Christ.
